Le fantôme du cinéma

I watched this as a grown adult and strangely found this to be very enjoyable. Likeable characters, good plot, and I really enjoyed the setting of a movie theater itself. A great fun family movie.

I really enjoyed this movie back when it came out and am so sad that Disney insists on making new movies every month while completely forgetting their classic older ones, which are much more enjoyable than the new cheesy ones. The plot is simple enough: A big movieplex is playing home to a huge Hollywood premier. They are still showing films (a little odd) right up until the second of the premier, but someone (a mysterious phantom...) is thwarting everything and causing general mayhem. Who is this phantom? Why is he doing this? A cute film that is predictable but plays out well, the characters are good and relatable to everyone. This film seems to have really captured what it is like working in a theater, which I am now thinking twice about doing. I loved the contemporary take on Phantom of the Opera as well. I wish they would show this more on Disney, it really is a great movie for everyone of all ages. The footage from the original Phantom movie was a nice touch.

This movie isn't good, original or anything that would qualify a movie as a must see. But it is pretty decent, the plot is very much predictable but then again, so is the plot for pretty much every kidsmovie (what this clearly is)

anyway, nice for the kids, and if you're bored and there is nothing better on the telly pretty decent to watch.

5 out 10

This is the funniest movie that I have ever seen! The acting is above top notch. Who needs Oscar winners, when you have David Johnston, and Mickey Rooney. How this movie disappeared off of the face of the earth, I have no idea. Good thing I filled twelve six-hour tapes with this movie, in case eleven are destroyed or something. I don't sleep! I just watch this movie. How can I bathe, eat, or re-enter society when I can watch this 24/7. I'm watching it right now. Granted, my skin is gray from lack of sunlight; and my leg muscles have atrophied, but I can't get enough of PoTM, as us Hollywood-savvy insiders call it. How can you not like this movie? "City Morgue" Priceless "What, do you want a medal?" Timeless I give this movie (Infinity^Infinity) Stars!

One of my Favorites.

The film is about Pete Riley (Handley) who works at a huge Megaplex, where things begin to go wrong. His siblings (Smith)(Wachs) are two movie lovers, like myself, who want to save the Megaplex. If that isn't enough, the place is about to have a huge premiere for the owners film. Crazy huh? Anyway, the acting is pretty decent, some fiction mixed in with Non-Fiction. It's got to be one of the best and most remembered Disney Film.

Micky Rooney is in it! How much better can it get! One for the family, this film. It's entertainment on all levels.

Disney better continue to play this film, because if they don't, I have no idea whats going on in their heads.
